that ruined the environment. i know each side blames the other side. i don't want to revisit history, but as the president picks his order this time, republicans have, for example, shown a willingness to work on immigration. should he do immigration before gun control, try to cooperate before confrontation? >> well, i think the president is going to move forward and see this as a walk and chew gum moment. he's going to do the things that are so necessary for both the american economy and the american people. and the decision to move forward with gun control obviously comes out of the tragedy that took place in newtown, but also because of the many, many tragedies that have taken place in communities around the country. and obviously, the issue with regard to immigration reform is one of moving our economy forward as well as the moral issues that surround ensuring that we've got high-skilled immigration, but we also are moving people out of the shadows into american civic society. >> what about the cabinet? you were -- obviously you're a female, you're
